CHRISTENSEN FINANCIAL CONSULTING, PLLC
COOKIE AND IBA POLICY
Last Revised: July 15, 2025
This Cookie and IBA Policy supplements CFC’s Privacy Policy and specifically explains how CFC and CFC’s third-party business partners deploy cookies and other tracking technologies ( “Tracking Technologies”), including for interest-based advertising (IBA), as well as the options Site User has to control them.
What are cookies and other tracking technologies?
“Cookies” are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on Site User’s browser, computer, or other device. The cookies CFC uses may include “flash cookies” (or “local shared objects”) and “HTML5 cookies” that store information on Site User’s device (outside of Site User’s browser) and are specific to content supported by Adobe® Flash or HTML5. CFC and CFC’s third-party business partners may also use other tracking technologies such as “web beacons” (also known as “tags” and “pixels”) which are small images embedded in CFC’s Services, content, or emails, as well as “embedded scripts” which are pieces of code that are temporarily downloaded onto Site User’s device. These other tracking technologies are often used in conjunction with cookies, but may be stored on Site User’s device in a different manner from cookies so disabling cookies may not also disable these tracking technologies.
These Tracking Technologies may be operated and set by CFC (known as “first party trackers”) or by CFC’s third party business partners, such as social media networks, advertising networks, and content providers, (known as “third party trackers”); and can be set either for a single visit (through a “session tracker”) so they are deleted after that visit or remain on Site User’s device to persist for multiple repeat visits (through a “persistent tracker”) for a specified period.
Why does CFC use cookies and other tracking technologies?
CFC uses Tracking Technologies for several different purposes: these technologies are widely used to remember Site User and Site User’s preferences and understand how Site User interacts with CFC so that CFC may perform essential functions (such as to provide CFC’s Services or deliver content and allow users to register and remain logged in), personalize CFC’s Services and content and ensure a quality, consistent, and efficient experience for CFC’s users, analyze Site User’s usage of CFC’s Services and interactions with content (including emails), and to deliver and measure advertising (including IBA).
How can Site User control the use of Tracking Technologies?
CFC will ask for Site User’s consent for the use of Tracking Technologies, except where such Tracking Technologies are strictly necessary for CFC to operate its website and/or to provide Site User with a service. For this purpose, Site User may see a “cookie banner” on some of CFC’s Services, which allows Site User to manage CFC’s use of cookies and other Tracking Technologies – click on the banner for more information regarding which cookies are used on that particular Service and what Site User may disable, but please note that Site User cannot disable any Tracking Technologies that are categorized as strictly necessary. Site User can withdraw any consent to the use of Tracking Technologies or manage preferences by selecting “Cookie Preference” at the bottom of each page of the CFC Site.
Site User may also restrict the use of cookies or completely prevent them from being set. Most modern browsers allow Site User to change cookie and other tracker settings, and Site User can usually find these settings in the options or preferences menu of Site User’s browser. Flash cookies can only be deleted within Adobe Flash rather than via Site User’s browser, and please refer to this Adobe help page for information on how to manage Flash cookies. Additionally, Site User can opt- out of Google Analytics by installing Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
Please be aware that some of the features of CFC’s Services may not function correctly if Site User disables all cookies or other technologies.
Does CFC honor Do Not Track Signals?
Generally, CFC does not currently respond to or take any action with respect to web browser “do not track” signals; however, in some instances, CFC’s third-party business partners who integrate within CFC’s Services will honor do not track signals.

What is Interest-Based Advertising?
“Interest-based advertising” (IBA) is also commonly referred to as “targeted advertising”, “online behavioral advertising”, and “personalized advertising”, and it generally means the delivery of personalized or targeted advertising to Site User that are tailored to Site User’s specific interests and demographics. IBA may also include analytics and reporting related to those advertisements (such as ad measurement and attribution, segmentation, and market research).
CFC may send Site User IBA based on the use of Tracking Technologies and other information Site User makes available to us when Site User interacts with CFC’s Services, content, and advertisements. CFC engages various third-party business partners to serve Site User IBA and CFC may share with those third-party business partners certain information about Site User and CFC’s Tracking Technologies to do so. Some of these third parties will deploy their own Tracking Technologies on CFC’s Services and content when doing so, in which they automatically receive Site User’s IP address, browser or device information, and other information from these Tracking Technologies. Some of CFC’s third-party business partners (and their business partners) may also use or provide us with additional information about Site User that they have independently collected, from offline and online sources to better target and provide Site User with more relevant and useful advertising. Some of these third parties may collect personal information about Site User’s online activities over time and across different websites. Please note that CFC does not control the privacy practices of these third parties, and their privacy practices are not covered by this Privacy Policy.
How can Site User opt-out of IBA?
In addition to the above, Site User may also be able to choose not to receive IBA from participating companies that participate in either:
- The Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), in which Site User may opt-out of IBA using this DAA tool; and/or
- The Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), in which Site User may opt-out of IBA using this NAI Opt Out Tool; and/or
- The AppChoices App for opting out on mobile devices.
Certain mobile devices may have an advertising identifier that allows companies to serve IBA to a specific mobile device using that identifier. Depending on Site User’s specific device, Site User may be able to limit advertising, sharing of that advertising identifier, or reset the advertising identifier, as well as choose to turn off the device’s location tracking – including precise geolocation tracking – on Site User’s mobile device or for certain applications. See Site User’s device manufacturer to understand what options are available to Site User. For more details on Site User’s choices regarding use of Site User’s web browsing activity for IBA Site User may also visit the following sites:
networkadvertising.org, optout.aboutads.info and Site User’sadchoices.com.
Next, some of CFC’s Services may also display Do Not Sell My Personal Information or Do Not Share My Personal Information links (or similarly named links), in which clicking those links may allow Site User to opt-out of the “sharing” or “selling” of Site User’s personal information as required by certain local privacy laws. Doing so may limit how CFC and CFC’s third- party business partners may use Site User’s personal information in connection with IBA.
Please note some of the options described above are browser-specific or device-specific, so Site User may need to opt-out again if Site User uses a different device or changes browsers. Please also note that, even if Site User opts-out of receiving IBA, Site User may still receive advertisements and marketing materials, but they may not be personalized to Site User specifically.
